OCI process

[Rekdme]

Ottawa processing time have been between 8 - 10 weeks till date. So if you get it within 7-8 days it would be really fast processing.

thanks for your response, @forw.jane . The question is whether an update that doesn’t specify the date on which document was dispatched from MEA and received at Ottawa (both dates being empty) - is this what people have mentioned as the processed date in the spreadsheet? Thanks!

Hi There,

I walked into the BLS Vancouver on October 3rd for the OCI application.
Date of Acknowledgement: October 5th,
Status: Under Process (@ OCI official website) & Processing at General Consulate @Bls website)

It has been 6 weeks already, no Idea how long it will take.
I think we still gotta wait for a couple more weeks.

Mostly it happens in a day or two but @anksyahoo experienced a very slow update for "Received at Ottawa"

Oh I see, thanks for clarifying that! That means the column labeled “OCI received date” is when the document was received in Ottawa and not delivered to the person. I was so mistaken lol.

Can I travel with just the OCI number (this is for a minor) in case my entry visa doesn’t arrive in time either?

No you cannot as OCI booklet is just like a passport. Its like travelling to another country with your passport number.
